Another has everything you could ask for in a creepy read—a child who feels lost and alone; parents who don’t, or won’t, seem to get it; an out-of-place old rotary phone; and Morel, who seems like the perfect new friend, then becomes, well—you’ll have to read it and find that out.
This book was a quick and easy read, and is certainly a middle school read. And while it could be scary for the younger set, I don’t think any of it would be too threatening. It is more strange and unsettling, but nothing as dark or twisted as Tremblay’s usual fare. I’m giving it a 4-star, but it really is closer to a three-and-a-half for me. I think I would have liked it more if there had been more about why his parents acted the way they did. AmIright? AmIwrong? I’d love to hear what someone from the intended audience thinks.
